Benefits of Professional Paint Correction in Newport News

Protecting your paint

Paint correction can remove scratches, swirl marks, and other imperfections that can lead to further damage from UV light, acid rain, and bird droppings.

Increased resale value

Paint correction can help your car retain its value and even increase it, as people are more likely to respond positively to a car that looks new.

Improved appearance

Paint correction can remove minor imperfections like scratches, swirl marks, and marring, and restore the depth of your car's color. This can make your car look brand new again.

What is paint correction and how does it work?

Paint correction is a professional process that involves removing imperfections from a vehicle’s paint, such as swirl marks and scratches. Leading products like Koch Chemie, 3M, Carpro, and Adam’s are often used to achieve a flawless showroom finish.

Stage 1 is known as heavy defect removal or cutting/buffing. The goal is to address the more severe imperfections on the paint surface.

Once the heavy defect removal stage is completed, the paint is in a significantly improved condition, but there may still be minor imperfections and hazing left behind. Stage 2, known as paint refinement, aims to address these remaining issues and enhance the paint’s appearance.

The final stage of paint correction, often called the final polish or “jeweling,” focuses on fine-tuning the paint surface to achieve a high gloss level, clarity, and depth. This stage aims to bring out the maximum shine and luster in the paintwork.

FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTIONS

The length of time necessary for paint correction is determined by several factors, including the vehicle size, the amount of paint flaws, and the level of correction required. It can take anywhere from several hours to a full day on average.

Paint correction can significantly reduce or eliminate many scratches and swirl marks. However, it may not be able to remove deep or severe damage entirely. On the other hand, a skilled paint repair method can significantly improve the overall appearance and clarity of the paint surface.

Most vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorbikes, can have their paint corrected. However, depending on the quality and thickness of the vehicle’s paint, the feasibility and extent of rectification may vary. A professional evaluation is recommended to establish the optimum technique for each vehicle.
